Are you getting the frustrating "App not installed as app isn't compatible with your phone" error when trying to sideload an APK? In this video, I will show you exactly how to fix the Android 14, 15, 16 compatibility block and install older apps without using a PC or needing root access!
Because newer versions of Android actively block older APKs due to the low target SDK restriction, we will use a safe, on-device workaround utilizing Shizuku and the "Install with Options" app. Whether you are trying to rescue a classic game or an older utility app on your brand-new Samsung or Pixel device, this step-by-step tutorial covers the complete bypass method.
